oh no...
This is my first post I have made on this forum, so excuse me for the mistakes I may have not noticed.
In the year 2065 (Yes @Badwolf66 if you are reading this, this is a reference.) A giant empire, Called the Dominance Confederacy was ruling 90% of all discovered galaxies. They were nearly unstoppable! They could only be defeated by one thing... themselves.
A civil war broke out between themselves. One side thought that they should slaughter all captive factions as a testament to their power. The other side thought that they should merge with the other factions to make them unbeatable.
Undetected, a group of random people, ranging between civilians to government officials escaped from the war. Now, they are spread across very few systems, trying to gain allies and avoid making enemies to grow and live peacefully. They do need protection though, so out of the ships and scraps they stole, they made these.
WARNING. These are not finished and are subject to change.
This is Trident! Only a recent addition, they are fighters with only two small lasers. NEVER alone as they are very weak, they are always in groups or with a bigger ship. Is good for propaganda. Made for @xPLAYn Comic!
Meet the Prometheus! This was the first ship built for the Republic, and it is still used today! This little fighter can deal major damage to medium sized ships in groups. It is also good in a small group of 2 or 3 against other small craft.
The Dynamic fighters are relatively weak, even in numbers, but they can still be useful with larger ships as escorts and as distractions. These are for training, police vehicles, or small skirmishes. Sorry for the real short description, i just can't think of anything.
Do you like a ship powerful, but can still swarm in numbers? Get the Finale! The Finale is amazing against 1v1 ship battles smaller than it. If it gets swarmed though, they can be in serious trouble. Due to their size, they can actually swarm ships bigger than it, this tactic and using it with bigger ships can lead to a devastating end for the opposition. But what are the bigger ships?
Like cannon-fire and destruction in the morning? The Orion has got your back! The Orion is a broadside battleship that deals heavy damage with its bullet-storm of heavy cannons and small salvo of missiles. Very effective against ships equal and smaller than its own size. If both sides are breached or destroyed, it is in a lot of trouble. If aided by a finale or more, it's duration and firepower can be put to more use. If you need to get rid of pesky missiles...
Meet the Twin! The Orion Mk2, in loss of some firepower, gains PD for missiles but has less cannons. These ships are recommended for ships that rely on salvos of missiles. If facing an enemy without missiles, call for backup. Other wise, it is nearly the exact same as its twin.
The Vertigo is one of the oldest ships of the Republic, but it has now discontinued being built as it is easily defeated by small swarms of fighters and it doesn't have enough firepower. Even though it is no-longer fighting in wars, it is still useful as it is a symbol of progression and hope. It is also sold for credits to build other ships.
If you need something to swarm an enemy, but serve different roles, try the Blockade! This is a ship that can detach to make a mini squadron, swarming the enemy. The top, called Choke Point serves as a heavy weapons ship, and a distraction for the other fighters. In order from top to bottom, is the Blockade Gunner (use your mind on this one.) the Blockade Supporter, a fighter that takes down enemy shields, and a Blockade Protector, a ship that can withstand fire while firing back.
This is the Virgo class fighter! This fighter is traded with other factions as well as fantastic pilots. Want to bombard enemies at a long range? IT HAS MISSILES! Want to get close to enemies to see the fear in their eyes before they get obliterated? IT HAS CANNONS! Great against enemies its size and lower, and great in a swarm against Finale sized enemies.
To surveying mining fields, to refueling other ships, the Multi-purpose station has it all! Each side is packed with rockets for orbital bombardment or assassinations of the most dangerous enemy. Each side also has two ion beams for opening shipping containers or mining in unused areas.
This is your doom. If you see it, run, just run. Cataclysm is very much like Blockade but MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH better. It includes a completed Virgo swarm to shoot your enemies out of existence, and it includes the two cataclysmic shields. these are devoid of any weapons, but serve as distractions full of Armour (armor), who could miss them?
The capital ship of this republic is glorious isn't it? Behold the Ecliptic Plane! (plane is used right for this term)
It hold eight ion beams to shred your enemies finely. Each wing holds too many heavy cannons to count! This vessel can hold an extra 3 ships with it! each wing holds an escape pod/fighter with it. On the back holds a missile broadsider to help in the sidelines. 5 were made, 3 are left, 1 still in use.
Behold, The Drone Deployer! This nifty ship drops its drones and either escapes to safety using its FTL drive or stays for the battle. The drones maybe weak on their own (as they have NO Armour (armor)), but together, they can obliterate ships way bigger than them! Because of this, they are excellent for assassinations of high ranking enemies.
Completely aesthetic below
In the war, ships and people need to recover, so in the back of a battlefront are these! Healing stations are usually protected by two cataclysms. These ships can repair and modify ships at will, changing the course of the battle. If another area is in need or has no more ships to defend it, it will use its FTL drive to get out of there.
Border Enforcer
This is the Border Enforcer. It is only made to warn the Republic that danger is coming or a small threat has been averted. Only has 3 small lasers on one side. The other side wears the Flag of Alignment. (flag is from Hologram Flag mod by @clojelo. Check them out!)
The Planetary Defender
Still a prototype, this is specifically made for @Sombreroman Multi faction war. This is like the Border Enforcer, but for planets near the edge of their border or for planets vital to winning a war. If a planet has been taken over, these ships will order an evacuation and perform orbital bombardment. Any enemy ship that escapes is hunted and destroyed. Also uses the Hologram Flag Mod.
The Biggest Fleet of Alignment has arrived...
20 Dynamics, 7 Virgo, 2 Cataclysms, 10 Planetary Defenders, 8 Blockades, 2 of each Orion, 4 Trap Deployers, 5 Squadrons, which are made of 5 Tridents, 2 Promethieus, and a Finale each, and the leader of the fleet, Captain Lysander on the Ecliptic Plane.
More ships MAY be added
If anyone want to make an alliance, feel free to ask!
